Pensions soar; taxpayers saddled

As a hardworking private-sector employer and taxpayer, I find any pension in the public sector over $200,000 very hard to swallow.

I'm sorry, I know how hard our teachers, police, firefighters and government employees work, but you have to admit this is getting out of hand.

Instead of showing the photo and bio of the lucky public-sector employee receiving this money, how about showing us those in public office who approve these payouts; they are the real problem here. How much longer will taxpayers be able to afford these public pensions?
